Chapter 23: Unifying the Whole World

Even if the world were conquered, and the seven continents and four oceans unified.

For the Great Qin, the journey had not yet ended.

The Great Qin could completely continue to conquer the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

The existence of the Military Merit Peerage System required war, and now, war would never cease.

The Military Merit Peerage System gave the commoners hope for advancement, yet this system, which existed for war, needed war to be maintained.

After Ying Zheng unified the world, the various contradictions within the Great Qin Empire were largely because the Military Merit Peerage System had lost the soil for its survival.

Ying Zheng reached out his hand to signal, and all the civil and military officials present fell silent, their eyes burning as they looked at their sovereign.

Ying Zheng took out the three books uploaded by Su Xiaoxiao and said, "These seven continents and four oceans should naturally be the territory of my Great Qin. There will be war, but we still need to make preparations."

"Li Si, you are to summon the craftsmen of the world, establish the Hundred Crafts Institute, and study these three books thoroughly; I want to see results within one month."

Today, the national strength of the Great Qin could naturally sweep across the world.

But productivity was low and transportation was inconvenient, making it difficult to form an effective rule over it.

There will be war, but the first step is to prepare for war.

Li Si said respectfully, "I accept the decree."

Ying Zheng looked at the remaining military generals and instructed, "As for you, sharpen your weapons and feed your horses, waiting for my orders at any time. I want these seven continents and four oceans to all become the territory of the Great Qin; I want everywhere the sun and moon shine and the rivers flow to be Qin soil."

Wherever the sun and moon shine and the rivers flow, all shall be Qin soil.

All the civil and military officials of the Great Qin were filled with fanaticism.

In Qin Emperor Calendar Year One, the First Emperor ordered the summoning of all craftsmen in the world to establish the Hundred Crafts Institute.

In Qin Emperor Calendar Year Two, the first Super-Xuanhuan Revolution broke out in the Great Qin.

Technology and extraordinary power formed a perfect combination: Super-Xuanhuan Ships, Super-Xuanhuan Trains.

The Great Qin Empire ushered in its first Xuanhuan technology explosion.

In Qin Emperor Calendar Year Five, trains, Crystal Cannons, and the like were all researched and developed by the Great Qin Hundred Crafts Institute.

In Qin Emperor Calendar Year Six, the Great Qin Empire began the Age of Discovery.

This year, the First Emperor changed the era name to Shenwu.

Shenwu—this year, the Great Qin Empire truly used force against the whole world.

In Shenwu Calendar Year One, the Great Qin began the Age of Global Discovery.

Qin Shi Huang appointed Wang Jian as General Conquering the West and Wang Bi as General Conquering the East.

Meng Tian was appointed General Conquering the North and Li Xin as General Conquering the South.

This year, the Great Qin Empire divided its troops into four routes and dispatched them to the whole world.

In Shenwu Calendar Year Two, Wang Jian launched a blitzkrieg on Italy and slew Caesar with one strike of his blade.

Marching westward, he conquered the Roman Empire and swept across the land of Europe.

In Shenwu Calendar Year Three, Wang Bi rode his horses to Tokyo to view the cherry blossoms, and the Great Qin annihilated the Indians.

In Shenwu Calendar Year Three, Meng Tian marched into Siberia, heading north all the way to the Arctic.

In Shenwu Calendar Year Three, Li Xin pointed his sword at Australia, and the smoke of war rose above the continent.

In Shenwu Calendar Year Five, the four armies swept across the world and had defeated almost all enemies, but they still encountered rebellions.

In Shenwu Calendar Year Eight, the second Super-Xuanhuan Revolution broke out.

More convenient means of transportation and more powerful weapons appeared.

In Shenwu Calendar Year Ten, the four armies of the Great Qin Empire completely suppressed the last remaining rebellions.

The seven continents became the territory of the Great Qin Empire, and the four oceans became the inland seas of the Great Qin Empire.

In the entire world, only one type of person remained, and that was the Qin People.

In Shenwu Calendar Year Eleven, the First Emperor changed the era name again to Yongding.

Yongding—the world is forever settled.

This year, Ying Zheng officially began the journey of governing the entire world.

In Yongding Calendar Year One, Ying Zheng promulgated the Great Unification Decree.

The first article: unify the gauges of carriages and the script of books; no matter which continent people are from, they must speak the Qin language, and government decrees must be written in small seal script.

The second article: the decree for ethnic unity; whether they are the indigenous people of Europe or the indigenous people of Meizhou, all must unite around the Chinese nation with the Huaxia people as the main body.

The Chinese nation is the imperial clan of the Great Qin Empire.

The third article: the Great Qin Empire moves its capital to Luoyang, and Luoyang is the Divine Capital.

Additionally, Rome, Constantinople, New York, and Sydney are established as the four auxiliary capitals.

In Yongding Year One, the First Emperor's decree was circulated throughout the world, inevitably encountering obstacles.

But it did not matter; the army of the Great Qin Empire would teach these rebellious subjects a lesson.

In the fiftieth year of Yongding, after fifty years of governance, the world was at peace, and a golden age had arrived.

Everyone was proud to be a Qin Person and proud to speak Chinese.

Meanwhile, the third and fourth Super-Xuanhuan Revolutions broke out one after another.

The productivity of the Great Qin Empire completely kept up with the needs of the empire.

A single government decree could be enforced nationwide in an instant.

If there were rebellions in the provinces, they could be suppressed rapidly within a day.

The country is great, the people are proud, and the songs of a golden age—it is nothing more than this.

The flow of time between worlds is different; decades had passed in the Great Qin World.

But relative to the Great Desolate World, it had only been a very short time.

Ying Zheng unified the whole world and even created a golden age.

It is precisely because of this that the Qi Luck of the Great Qin Empire has surged violently.

And Qin Hao, who is in the Great Primordial World, also felt the feedback of Qi Luck coming from the Great Qin World.

As a subsidiary force under the Heavenly Court, when the Qi Luck of the Great Qin Empire surges, the Heavenly Court's will also surge.

Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Qin Hao continues to deduce the Three Thousand Great Daos using Qi Luck.

【Burning ten million Qi Luck, congratulations to the host for perfectly mastering the Metal Dao.】

【Burning fifty million Qi Luck, congratulations to the host for perfectly mastering the Earth Dao.】

【Burning one hundred million Qi Luck, the host has fused the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Daos, perfectly mastering the Five Elements Dao.】

As for the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Five Elements Daos, Qin Hao had already entered the gate of these Daos long ago, and some he had even mastered to perfection.

Now, by burning Qi Luck, Qin Hao has mastered all the remaining Daos he had not yet controlled, and has even fused them into the Great Five Elements Dao.

The Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Daos alone are merely very common Daos.

But if it is the fused Five Elements Dao, it ranks among the forefront of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The Five Elements Dao is only beneath the supreme Daos such as the Fate Dao, Causal Great Dao, and Space-Time Dao.

"Now I already possess the strength of four Saints."

After mastering the Five Elements Dao, Qin Hao's strength increased once again, strengthening by the power of two Saints.

When he mastered the Causal Great Dao, he had increased his strength by one and a half Saints at that time.

Now that he has mastered the Five Elements Dao, it has increased his strength by two Saints.

He now possesses the strength of four Saints.

Of course, this is not to say that the Five Elements Dao is more powerful than the Causal Great Dao.

After he mastered the Causal Great Dao, it has been strengthening his own power at every moment.

The subsequent increase in the strength of two Saints also includes the influence of the Causal Great Dao.

After this, the Causal Great Dao will continue to strengthen his power.

The Causal Great Dao is, after all, a Dao that is only beneath the Fate Dao.

This is not a simple case of one plus one equals two; this is a process of laying a foundation, and it cannot be calculated so simply.

In short, the current Qin Hao already possesses the strength of four Saints.
